That evening, as Noelle and Charles chatted about the day's events, Charles grinned and gave Noelle's hand a playful squeeze. "Are you that curious about Nexus Group?""No, not really," Noelle replied, her gaze drifting toward the kitchen. "What's the deal with Tania and Peter anyway?" She had hoped that things between Tania and Peter would cool off after the recent drama, but they had lapsed into an awkward silence instead.Charles's smile faded into a thoughtful frown. "I don't know. That's between them."Noelle let out another sigh. "What about Mr. Smith's report? Is Tania healthy enough to go through with the surgery for Aunt Nancy?""We still don’t know. Sean's discussing it with Dr. Powell, and I’ve not been keeping up.” He and Peter were not medical experts, so they did not understand the specifics despite shadowing Sean."What are you two whispering about?"Tania walked in from the kitchen, drying her hands, with little Brandon in tow. "Charles, I had my check-up the othe

Marvin was at his limit and gave a weary nod. "I've never encountered a virus this difficult to deal with.""Neither have I," Sean admitted. He thought he had seen it all in medicine, but that virus stumped him. "Go home and get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow."Once Marvin had left, Sean leaned against the lab wall, exhausted.The whole ordeal with Tania had kept him away from home and his bed for days.Then there was the virus...Tania waited and worried for days, sensing that something was off. Everyone seemed to be keeping secrets from her. Her suspicions worsened when Nancy suddenly took a turn for the worse, slipping into unconsciousness.The doctors were clear: Nancy did not have much time left. A bone marrow transplant was her only shot at surviving, even if just for a few more years. Without it, Nancy was a goner.Nancy's doctor made sure Tania was far away before he spoke to Peter and Henry. However, they did not expect Tania to have her ears pressed to the door, ca

"I just don't get it," Tania said, her voice cracking with emotion. "Can’t you see my mom lying unconscious in that hospital bed? I just came back, and she's aged so much. I missed over twenty years with them, and then I stupidly left for another three years. I can't afford to lose any more time with her. Do you understand?""I do!" Peter replied, his voice heavy as he watched Tania's outburst. His eyes darkened, and he felt a pang in his heart. He wrapped his arms around her, soothingly rubbing her back. "I understand, Tania, but with the shape you're in, even if your mom gets the surgery, she might not pull through. It's risky, and I can't let you take that chance.""Are you worried about me or yourself?” Tania shoved Peter away. "You're not me. You can't understand. I lost twenty years with them, and just when we could have reunited, you made me leave Brookville. It's all my fault! All of it!""Tania!"Peter reached out to her, but Tania slapped his hand away. The elevator doors

"Don’t cry," Charles whispered as he wrapped his arms around Tania, gently patting her back. He waited until she settled down before he looked at the others and then Peter. "It's time she learned the truth.""I... What are you guys keeping from me? Why are you delaying the surgery?" Tania's confusion grew. She understood others being against the surgery, but if Charles was too, then something was definitely up.Tania scanned the faces of the men around her, noting their unusually grave expressions. She could not shake the feeling that something terrible was looming, and Peter's strained voice confirmed her fears. "Okay."Her heart skipped a beat, and she gripped the fabric of her sleeves so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Her breathing sped up with anxiety.Peter caught Tania's gaze, sorrow flickering in his eyes. He stepped closer and took her hands in his, offering a gentle squeeze. "Whatever happens, I'm right here with you."Tania tried to wriggle her hand free, feelin

"Stop!" Tania cut Sean off mid-sentence. "I don't believe a single thing you're saying. How could I be carrying a virus? All these years..." She trailed off, her mind racing with memories.She bit her lip, and her face revealed something was not right. "What is this virus, exactly? Can you cure it? How long will it take? My mom..." She could not wait any longer.Peter squinted, watching how Tania was acting, and he could not shake off a bad feeling. "Tania, did something just occur to you?""Nothing!" Tania said too quickly.However, the faster Tania denied it, the more Peter was convinced she had realized something. However, with Tania keeping quiet, there was nothing Peter could do.Tania bit her lip and inhaled sharply. "Mr. Smith, you know my mom's always been there for you, and I hate to ask, but I need your help again. If my bone marrow isn't a match, what about someone else's?"Sean shifted uncomfortably. "Tania, you know that even blood relatives don't always match, and b

Steven would rather ask a stranger for help than return to the Naylors. A stranger would probably be kinder than the Naylors. "We've got to at least try!" Charles said, stubbing out his cigarette with a steely squint. "I'll figure something out with the Naylors.""Do you really think you can pull it off?" Sean asked, skeptical. Charles was the big shot of the Hoffman family, and they were on really bad terms with the Naylors. "We've got no choice. Aunt Nancy and Tania are running out of time. I need you and Dr. Powell to figure out that virus ASAP. My team's been on it in Kerlsberg, but they’ve gone nowhere.""Don't worry. We’ve been working on it constantly!" Sean replied, his energy fading. "Dr. Powell, what do you think?""I just remembered someone who might be able to help us," Marvin blurted out."Who?" Steven, Charles, and Sean chimed in together, all eyes on Marvin.Marvin took a moment to think. "You might have heard of him—the elusive Mystic Lifebringer, Houston. Howeve

Tania's mood had improved significantly with Peter by her side. He took her to Nancy's hospital room, and when Tania caught sight of Henry, her dad, sitting silently next to her mom, her eyes welled up again.Henry looked up, his heart aching at the sight of Tania. He let go of Nancy's hand, stepped out, and closed the door behind him. He gave Tania's shoulder a gentle pat. "Tania, I know it's tough, but mom would be upset seeing you like this.""Dad!" Tania rushed into Henry's embrace, her voice quivering. "I'm not crying, really. Peter will find a bone marrow donor. We're going to make Mom better.""There's my brave girl," Henry said, smoothing her hair, then turned to Peter. "Take Tania home and let her get some rest. Make sure you keep an eye on Brandon too.""I'll look after them. You have my word, Dad!"Henry gave a small nod. He was not Peter's biggest fan, but he could tell he really loved Tania and treated her right. If Tania could patch things up with Peter, she would be

Jack's grip tightened around his coffee mug as he caught sight of the striking figure at the door. A shadow flickered in his eyes, a mix of surprise and something darker.Tania's gaze locked onto Jack, her eyes narrowing with a coldness that had never been there before. That was their second encounter since the revelation of his true identity, and the warmth that once marked their interactions as ‘Trevon’ had turned to ice. They might not have been in love, but Tania had always believed they were like family. Then, staring at Jack, a wave of hatred surged within her that she could barely contain.She gripped her purse tighter and strode toward him. "Mr. Jack Lennon, I hope you haven't been waiting long."Jack's eyes widened in shock, his expression freezing over. He gave an awkward half-smile. "Tania, why the formality? Whether I'm Jack or Trevon, we're still married. That's just the way it is."Tania's lips thinned to a line. "Married? You must be kidding, Mr. Jack Lennon." She st

Kelly's clothes were nearly torn apart by her own hands, and her arms and neck were covered in scratches. A small wound marred her forehead, likely from when she had hit the ground earlier.A dark glint flashed through Simon's eyes as a distant memory resurfaced. It was of a woman in a dimly lit alleyway years ago...His grip around Kelly tightened involuntarily. He closed his eyes briefly, pushing the emotions back down. When he opened them again, his expression had returned to its usual indifference.Without hesitation, Simon carried Kelly out of the dark, suffocating underground prison. The hidden dungeon was tucked away inside a rockery in the York family's back garden—a place no one would have suspected.Even after living in the York residence for over a decade, Simon had never known such a place existed.No wonder Peter's men had found nothing, despite exhausting all available resources. Who would have thought Elon had hidden Kelly right under the York family's nose?Simon

Elon ruthlessly threw Kelly to the ground. Her head slammed against the cold floor with a loud thud. A sticky, warm sensation spread across her forehead, and within seconds, she tasted the familiar metallic tang of blood in her mouth.Dazed, Kelly blinked a few times, her vision wavering. She swayed as she tried to push herself up, but before she could stand, Elon kicked her back down.A sharp pain exploded in her chest, and she could not hold it in anymore. She spat out a mouthful of blood. She now lay there, completely unable to move."You—"Elon raised his hand, ready to strike again. However, before his blow could land, a sudden force struck him from behind. A powerful kick sent him flying."Mr. Simon!"Elon looked up in shock at the newcomer. "This is Mr. Jacob's business. I suggest you stay out of it!"He showed no fear toward Simon. In Elon's mind, Simon was nothing compared to Jacob. Among the three York grandsons, Jacob was the only one truly capable of inheriting the f

Overnight, Brookville's largest underground casino was completely wiped out. Almost no one knew who was behind it.By the time the casino staff realized what had happened, all their systems had been hacked, and financial records from across the world had been completely destroyed.By the time Elon received the news, it was already too late. The casino that Yves had been secretly managing for so long had been taken down in a single night. That casino had been involved in countless transactions, but now, everything was gone.Elon stared at the wreckage before him, his fury boiling over as he slammed his fist against the computer screen. "Where's Mr. Yves? When is he coming back?""I don't know!"The guard who had been following Elon barely got the words out before Elon kicked him aside. "Get in touch with him immediately!"Elon's expression was dark with rage. Everything they had built was crumbling in an instant.…Deep in the underground prison, Kelly had lost track of how long

Jeanette's sharp gaze remained fixed on Simon. "Simon, tell me, do you truly not understand the company's affairs?""Grandma, I'm only good at eating, drinking, and having fun. I'll leave the rest to Jacob and Matthias!" Simon remained steadfast in his refusal to take over York Group's affairs.Jeanette hesitated for a moment, her expression filled with doubt as she shifted her gaze toward Matthias.Among the three grandsons of the York family, Jacob was mature, steady, and methodical in handling matters. Simon, on the other hand, was carefree and had never accomplished anything significant—except for constantly getting involved in various messy situations.As a result, the most well-known figures in the York family were Jacob and Simon while Matthias had never truly been taken seriously by Jeanette."Alright then. Until Jacob returns, let Matthias handle it. But Simon, you should still help where you can—you're all cousins, after all.""Of course, Grandma!" Simon replied with a

Matthias had been waiting for this opportunity and was eager to seize full control over the family's power.The family meeting had been dragging on for hours, yet no conclusion had been reached.Simon sat with his head lowered and casually fiddled with his phone, appearing indifferent. However, in reality, he was actively manipulating York Group's stock movements.As he listened to the endless arguments among the York family's elders, he merely moved his fingers, effortlessly causing drastic fluctuations in York Group's stock prices.Finally, he lifted his head and saw Jeanette coming down the stairs. He immediately stood up."Grandma, why did you come downstairs?"Jeanette looked at Simon with a slight hint of confusion. However, the moment quickly passed as she reached out and patted the back of his hand."It's you, Simon. What's all this noise about? You've been arguing for hours. It's giving me a headache!"Despite her words, her eyes were sharp as she surveyed the room.S

Charles furrowed his brows tightly at Noelle's words. "Nelly, Kelly will be fine. You have to trust me."He reached out to gently rub her back, soothing her until she finally calmed down. However, once Noelle was settled, his expression darkened completely.Peter's people had been searching for three days, but there was still no sign of Kelly. The tracking chip Charles had implanted in her had long been removed by Yves, leaving them with no way to trace her location.Charles sat by Noelle's bedside, watching as she fell into a deep sleep under Linda's acupuncture treatment, yet his heart remained unsettled.Linda looked at Noelle and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Hoffman, while Noelle's condition is stable for now and the virus hasn't flared up, she's still pregnant. Any stress or anxiety could be dangerous for her. No matter how skilled I am, I won't be able to help if she keeps worrying like this."She handed Charles another prescription. He took it, and his brows were tightly knitted

"Ms. Anderson, you should worry about yourself instead! Even if Mr. Yves remembers you in the future, I'm afraid your situation will be far worse than this. I told you before—I won't let you die so easily. So, Ms. Anderson, just stay here and make yourself comfortable!" Elon spat."Elon, once Yves finds out, he'll kill you. He will."The only response Kelly received was the heavy clang of the cell door slamming shut.She used every ounce of strength to scream, but after Elon left, all that remained was pain—unbearable, all-consuming pain.She trembled violently, shivering as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar, yet moments later, it felt as if she were being scorched alive.Kelly writhed on the floor, the torment so excruciating that she nearly passed out.Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes as she closed them.She suddenly recalled the first time she had met Yves. She had infuriated him, and she had blurted out in a fit of defiance, "Only by falling in love with yo
The Cherished Wife Chapter 1633
Kelly let out a cold chuckle. "Is that so? Then why hasn't Yves killed me yet? Shouldn't he have killed me the moment I tore off his mask and discovered his identity?"She struggled to her feet, but the iron chains around her ankles were secured to the floor. She barely took a few steps before the chains yanked her back, causing her to fall heavily onto the ground.Pain radiated through her body, and a sharp sting shot through her palms as they scraped against the rough surface. She winced, sucking in a breath.Her ankle, caught in the unforgiving grip of the iron shackle, twisted painfully.Forcing herself up, Kelly looked at Elon. "Locking me up here… Is that truly Yves' decision?"Elon remained silent. He knelt before her, gripping her jaw forcefully before she could react. In one swift motion, he shoved a small pill into her mouth.Kelly clamped her lips shut, struggling against him. However, Elon's grip was ruthless. He squeezed her cheeks hard to force her mouth open and pu

Peter's men immediately sprang into action. Since Kelly had disappeared from the villa, they started their search from there.While they were looking for Kelly, Elon had already moved her to another location. Kelly had no idea where she was.She only remembered that after Yves left, the man who had always been by his side appeared, striking her across the face. She blacked out instantly.When she woke up again, she found herself lying on an icy, damp surface. The air was cold, and she had no clue where she was.She struggled to sit up, only to realize that heavy iron chains shackled her wrists and ankles. The room was pitch-black without a single trace of light.Kelly groped around in the darkness, but she could not make out anything. In such a void, her hearing became especially sensitive. She caught the sound of approaching footsteps.Moments later, the door creaked open, allowing a sliver of light to pierce through the darkness. The sudden brightness momentarily blinded her. W
